Bruins forwards Chris Kelly and Milan Lucic both have gone under the knife.

"Milan underwent successful surgery to repair his [left] wrist," general manager Peter Chiarelli said in a statement. "Chris also underwent successful surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back. Both players are expected to be ready for the start of Training Camp."

Kelly had his surgery Friday morning, which repaired the L5 vertebra in the small of his back. There's a 4-8 week timetable for recovery. The 33-year-old originally was hurt April 8 at Minnesota and missed the remainder of the regular season as well as the postseason.

Lucic's injury occurred in Game 7 against the Canadiens. Wearing a brace two days later, he said he jammed the wrist during the season-ending loss. He had avoided significant injury prior to that.

The only other Bruin expected to need offseason surgery is winger Matt Fraser, who broke his foot during the playoffs. Defenseman Adam McQuaid had season-ending surgery on his right ankle in April.
